In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: act_mpls: Fix warning during failed attribute validation

The 'TCA_MPLS_LABEL' attribute is of 'NLA_U32' type, but has a
validation type of 'NLA_VALIDATE_FUNCTION'. This is an invalid
combination according to the comment above 'struct nla_policy':

"
Meaning of `validate' field, use via NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN:
   NLA_BINARY           Validation function called for the attribute.
   All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
"

This can trigger the warning [1] in nla_get_range_unsigned() when
validation of the attribute fails. Despite being of 'NLA_U32' type, the
associated 'min'/'max' fields in the policy are negative as they are
aliased by the 'validate' field.

Fix by changing the attribute type to 'NLA_BINARY' which is consistent
with the above comment and all other users of NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN().
As a result, move the length validation to the validation function.

No regressions in MPLS tests:
